Thank you for having this place on the web. As a hobbyist it is nice to find a place that has discussions on equipment that both pros and DIY folks are interested in.

My current setup is a little Lincoln SP125 plus,a Thermalarc Plasma cutter and a oxy/acetylene torch. I am looking to upgrade machines to something a bit more diverse.Would like to do some TIG and MIG of different metals. Mostly doing hobby type motorcycle and automotive stuff. Been looking at Lincoln 210 MP and ESAB 235 Rebel on line. None of my local North Tecas shops seem to have anything on the floor except Miller and Lincoln.
